Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whenever any lot, parcel or tract of land, or any Interest therein, or any improvement thereon, shall have been bidi in prior to April 1, 1915, by or for any county at tax sales made pursuant to law for two or more years, and the treasurer of such county has been unable to sell the certificates or duplicate certificates therefor so as to realize the total amount of the taxes, interest, penalty and costs due' upon such property, said treasurer may sell the same at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, who shall bid not less than the minimum sum therefor which the county commissioners of said county, by order duly entered upon their records at any regular meeting, may have decided to accept. And at any time prior to the date fixed for such sale in the notice given by the treasurer the owner of such property may redeem the same from such tax sales by paying to the treasurer the minimum amount so fixed by the county commissioners, such sale of said certificates or duplicate certificates, or such redemption by Ihe owner, shall release said property from the lien of all delinquent taxes, penalties, interest and costs standing against the same at the date of such sale or redemption.” Laws 1&15, c. 78.”
